This penthouse was perfect for our girls weekend! It was right downtown, all the shops and restaurants were within minutes of walking. It also came with a parking spot, which was great because parking is tough down there. Highly recommend this beautiful penthouse looking over the downtown.It was very spacious and came with three big bathrooms, which was great for getting ready. Highly recommend!

We had the best time staying in your rental! Very clean, well stocked kitchen with everything we needed. The design is beautiful, the staircase is a stunner! The daughters had the upstairs, the Moms the main level. Worked out great! Perfect location, for dropping off bags of goodies to continue for more shopping and going out to eat! We all agreed we’re coming back next year to stay there again! Thank you a wonderful experience and a great weekend of laughter and memories!

Great place in walking distance to everything we wanted..fine restaurants and shops. Short drive to other things to do. Perfect for a long weekend get away. Recommend the penthouse and the town. Only one possible concern, lots of steps in the penthouse but it is excellent.

Best rental in Galena!!
Friends and I stayed here for a wedding weekend in beautiful Galena and had the most wonderful time!! So much so that we ended up booking an additional night, which was extremely easy as Raechelle was quick to respond and able to walk me through booking. The place itself was stunning, clean, spacious, modern, and right in the heart of downtown Galena. We enjoyed this stay so much and will hopefully be back in the near future!
